Chapter 205: First Rebellion
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ji Wen faced his uncle’s oppression. “I’ve already said that Fang Xiaonuan didn’t go with me today. I was the only one who went there to play.”
Taking the risk of being beaten and punished, Ji Wen bore the brunt of Ji Lingchen’s fury alone.
Ji Lingchen had not settled one thing, but another had come. He walked out of the study and came to the railing. He shouted at the guilty Fang Xiaonuan downstairs, “Come up now!”
Fang Xiaonuan knew he was calling her, but she did not dare to move and could only pretend to be deaf.
“Must I keep calling your name before you come up? Or should I go down and ask you to come up?” Ji Lingchen said.
Fang Xiaonuan was speechless.
She slowly got up, lowered her head, and slowly walked upstairs to report to her husband. Upstairs, Fang Xiaonuan was leaning against the wall, not getting close to Ji Lingchen. Her small hands were awkwardly pressed against the wall as if she wanted to make a hole in the wall.
Ji Lingchen’s eyes were fixed on her. Suddenly, he stepped forward and grabbed Fang Xiaonuan’s arm, pulling her into the study. f𝑟𝑒ewe𝚋𝚗૦𝐯e𝘭.c𝗼𝓂
Ji Wen saw that Fang Xiaonuan was also being dragged in, and immediately said loudly, “Uncle, I already said that Fang Xiaonuan didn’t go today. I went alone to play there. Why did you catch her?”
Fang Xiaonuan looked at Ji Wen, surprised that he had taken the blame for her. She opened her mouth, wanting to defend herself. “No…”
“I just thought it was fun, so I went. Besides, you were able to go in, which means that you’ve been there before. If you can go, why can’t I go?” This was the first time Ji Wen had said such rebellious words to Ji Lingchen. 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
Ji Wen had stopped Fang Xiaonuan from speaking.
Ji Lingchen looked at his nephew. He would rather incriminate himself and defend his aunt. Ji Lingchen was frustrated. “Get lost!”
Ji Wen turned around and left bravely. Before he left, he shook his head slightly to remind Fang Xiaonuan not to come clean.
After Ji Wen left, only the husband and wife were left in the study.
“Who did you switch clothes with today?” Ji Lingchen closed his eyes. He kept thinking about the marks on the girl’s arm.
Although the girl’s clothes were the same as his wife’s, she was definitely not her wife.
Ji Lingchen saw Fang Xiaonuan’s arm every day. How could he not have known if it was her? Therefore, the most likely possibility was that she had switched clothes with someone else today.
Fang Xiaonuan gritted her teeth and shook her head. Liu Siyu did not allow her to come clean, and neither did Ji Wen.
Ji Lingchen slammed the table hard and asked anxiously, “Xiaonuan, who exactly did you lend the clothes to? Tell me!”
Fang Xiaonuan still shook her head slightly.
“Fang Xiaonuan, tell me immediately!” Ji Lingchen was furious and shouted at his little wife, whom he usually treated as a treasure.
Other than the fact that they did not get along well when they were newlyweds, Fang Xiaonuan had always been doted on by Ji Lingchen as if she was precious to him. Now, he was suddenly yelling at her. She stood rooted to the spot and started crying. Her tears kept flowing, and she could not stop them no matter how hard she tried. She was just like a child who could only stand there and cry after being criticized by her parents.
Fang Xiaonuan raised her arm and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
Ji Lingchen became even more agitated. He clenched his fists and rushed to his wife. He pressed his hands on her shoulders and said, “Xiaonuan, quickly tell me who you switched clothes with. This matter is very important to me.”
Fang Xiaonuan was crying her eyes out. On one hand, she was not allowed to say anything because that was her best friend. On the other hand, her best friend was taking the blame for her. Now that her husband was still questioning her, she really did not know how to answer him. She could only cry like a child.
Ji Lingchen also realized that he had been a little impulsive. He forced himself to calm down. His little wife had been scared to tears by him. He should not have lost his composure like this.
Ji Lingchen closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Looking at his tearful wife, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have yelled at you.”
Fang Xiaonuan choked and said, “I’m… I’m sorry. I’m sorry, hubby.”
“No, don’t be,” Ji Lingchen comforted his little wife in his arms.
At this moment, Ji Lingchen suddenly received a call. He put on his jacket and prepared to go out.
Fang Xiaonuan chased after him with tears in her eyes. “Hubby, where are you going?”
Ji Lingchen said, “I have some matters to attend to. I’m going out for a while. You should go back to the room first. It’s cold outside, so I won’t be coming back tonight.”
With that, he drove away. He did not even know that his little wife was standing there in tears.
Feng Qi heard the commotion outside and went downstairs to take a look. She happened to see her sister-in-law standing at the door in her thin pajamas. She immediately brought her into the house. “Xiaonuan, tell me what happened?”
Fang Xiaonuan hugged Feng Qi and cried, “Sister-in-law, my husband is ignoring me.”
